    Story 10 of Season 1 of Tales from The Hollow

    Keith Barnett is a Columbus taxi driver who survived Ironwood Retreat once. That was six years ago. He made his confession, held the iron, and drove away telling himself it was finished. For six years he almost believed it. Now the mirrors are wrong again and the back seat of his cab feels occupied even when it's empty. He knows what it means. He knows what he left unsaid.

    Frank Harmon has kept the watch for ten years. He manages Keith's return the way he manages everything at Ironwood... carefully, methodically, with the knowledge of a man who has seen this kind of thing before. But Keith Barnett is not the only thing that found Ironwood Retreat this October.

    Some doors don't close the first time.

    Story 9 of Season 1 of Tales from The Hollow

    Cole Decker is a long-haul trucker stranded on a back road in Grindstone Hollow. Dorothy Reeves is a county records clerk who drove out Old Mill Road telling herself she was just checking on something. When both end up at Ironwood Retreat on the same sweltering July weekend, the hollow takes notice. It doesn't break the wards. It doesn't force the doors. It finds what people carry inside themselves and walks right through. Frank Harmon has kept this watch for nine years. He does everything right. This weekend is different. What you carry will find you.

    Mar 13 2026

    Story 8 of Season 1 of Tales from The Hollow

    Aaron Bledsoe is a bank foreclosure specialist. He has spent thirty years collecting what others owe. When he discovers an abandoned mill in rural Ohio with no clear owner and no tax records since 1952, he sees opportunity. What he doesn't know is that twelve men died in that mill, trapped and burning, owing debts they could never repay. After the siren sounds at 8:47 PM, the Lienholders come. They know his name. They know his brother. They know every debt he has ever collected, and the one he has refused to pay. Some debts can't be settled in money. Pride is stronger than fire.
